I have something in my fanfiction about Zecora's African homeland. She has a nemesis that is a male Cheetah. THey have been enemies since they were a foal and a cub. This Cheetah likes to call himself Ultracheetah and will stop at nothing to eat Zecora. He has the same Swahili accent as her, speaks the same language (Swahili) and also speaks in rhymes when speaking a different language

And yeah, I'm sure she's missing her family and her homeland at times; but on the other hand, she always struck me as the travelling kind, the one who never truly settles down anywhere, who always wants to see what's beyond the horizon, and who always eventually ends up feeling that same ol' wanderlust again. She may be living in Ponyville now, and maybe she will for a long time to come, until she feels that her work is done and she's not needed anymore there, but I think she will move on then.

I defanatelly think Zecora was intended orginally to be the teacher of twi but got bumped due to other plans. Still think that she would make a good teacher for the mane 6. So far the mlp staff have done a good job of doing something with Zecora. Man i really wish they'd do more with her. Alas it might not be for another 4 - 8 weeks.

Love it! The series only teased the idea of a wider pony world with the reference to the ponies from Saddle Arabia. During the Apple Family Reunion I kinda hoped they'd show a Japanese pony named Fuji. This is still great, though.

Zecora seriously needs an episode one of these days... and I mean a backstory episode, not Bridle Gossip. The fact that she can do some form of magic (as seen in Magic Duel) and she has something akin to a cutie mark is too interesting.
